DIY soaring bed

Unusual and non-standard pieces of furniture have always made the interior more interesting and modern. These include the flying bed. It got its name due to the reliably hidden support, due to which it seems that the structure just hung in the air. Unfortunately, such products are rarely found in furniture stores, and custom-made manufacturing is a very expensive pleasure. Therefore, a hovering bed with your own hands is a logical decision in such a situation. The process will take you not so much time, but in the end you will get high-quality and exclusive furniture for very little money.

What materials is a flying bed made of?

Designs of this type of beds are made of the same materials as standard models. Nevertheless, the choice of material should be taken with all responsibility, since the finished product must have high wear-resistant properties.

Most often, a do-it-yourself soaring bed is made of such materials:

  • Wood. It must have high strength in order to withstand the load.

Important! It is best to turn your attention to oak, walnut pine and cherry.Such wood is able to withstand at least 100 kilograms of weight.

  • Metal. Structures made of this material are quite durable and easy to install.
  • Combined - these are products that combine wood and metal at the same time.

Manufacturing technology

The main advantage of manufacturing this type of design is the ability to choose the material and model of the future product. In addition, you can complement the bed with a variety of decorative elements and create your own design. The manufacturing process itself consists of several stages, which we will tell you in more detail.

Stage 1. Sizing a flying bed and do-it-yourself construction of drawings

Before you begin the manufacturing process, it is very important to develop a drawing of the future product. This should be done on a large paper, so that you can place absolutely all the structural elements.

Important! If this is your first encounter with the manufacture of furniture, a finished drawing can be downloaded from the Internet and printed on an enlarged scale.

As for the dimensions of the future product, they depend solely on your taste preferences and the size of your chosen mattress.

Stage 3. Assembly of the finished structure

Once you have prepared all the necessary materials for work, you can proceed directly to the manufacture of a soaring bed with your own hands. You need to do this according to this procedure:

Using a screwdriver and a jigsaw, assemble the frame of the future product.

  • Make a base from the boards on which the frame will be held. The base should be a few centimeters smaller.

Important! If the frame made is 2.5 x 2 meters, the support should be 1 x 1 meter.

  • Install the LED strip around the perimeter of the frame.
  • Lay a sheet of plywood on the surface of the frame, fix it with PVA glue and self-tapping screws.
  • On the sides of the frame from the boards, make a frame. To do this, the boards are installed on the sides, fixed with screws.

Important! For a more solid fixation, the boards should be pre-lubricated with PVA glue or putty.

  • Install plugs at the corners.

Important! If desired, at this stage, you can make the head of the bed.

  • Using sandpaper or a grinder, peel the wood to remove any knots.
  • Cover the entire frame with stain or varnish.

That's it, the do-it-yourself soaring bed is ready! Now it remains only to put the mattress and cover it with beautiful textiles.
